The Blister - Making

Sadly I did not take any pics when I got started... This is the pic that I already finished the beginning part, hammering the blister deeper and making the beautiful corner.

But I got two pics of my partner doing it :)


My Final Blister!!!!Shinny!
Perfectly matches




The Tray - Making

Getting Started
Stabilised the tray and hammered the edge along the wooden template that I made for tray making.

Refining the edge
Actually I was using the blister wooden template to make the corner look good. Because I did not want my tray wooden template (beside the tray) to get stuck into the tray, I was trying to use the blister wooden template.The blister corner is exactly as accurate as the tray corner. 


Final Result
YES!!!
IT MATCHES!!!




The Reverse Curve - Making


Getting Started
With a little help from my friend, we were trying to hammer a concave shape on a wooden template.
The initial result
Feels good after a 3 hours hammering on the wooden template. The initial result seemed not bad tho...
Knocking the Reverse Curve
Using the metal stands which has a form of a small curve to make the curve on the aluminium at the opposite direction.


Final Result
Final Result after polishing the surface.





The Bowl - Making




Getting Started
The sheet of aluminium was marked to guide and shape the bowl. It took me a while to briefly hammer the shape from outside to inside as shown from the guidance.
Hammering the detail
After I roughly finished the bowl, I moved on to the detailed hammering with the semicicular thing and flat hammer.
Polishing
After the I finished surface of the bowl by hammering it prudently and using the English Wheel, polishing is the last step of doing the bowl, making it nice and shinny.


Final Result
I did it!!!
